That is pretty much what I do in the Prius. If I'm going to go up a real steep hill I'll try to gain a few more mph before heading up so I can go up the hill at a lower load/rpm. I try to keep the rpms under 3k while going up the hill. Thankfully around these parts the hills aren't real big. Therefore I don't bother shifting to N or B as I very rarely see any green bars. However, I do find that I can get better mileage on flatter grounds than hills despite lowering my speed in the hilly areas.
